==Datafiles Page Links==
Is it necessary to put the link on each page? It is linked from the documentation page already. It is a waste IMHO to go through each page and add this. There are too many games that would need to have this. -[[User:Clone2727|Clone2727]] 20:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


:Asking the other way around: What is better: Having a single page listing all datafile requirements for all games; *or* listing the required datafiles of each game? Both approaches have pros and cons, I think. If I am a newbie looking for this information, I might start out by looking at the page for the game I want to play. OTOH if I am familiar with ScummVM and know about the datafiles page, it might be the first place I look at.... Incidentally, this question also crops up when thinking about how to write the manual: Group information by "game", or by the type of information? (think about: datafiles; known issues; etc.) [[User:Fingolfin|Fingolfin]] 17:05, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
::Personally, I like it all clumped together. Before I knew exactly what I was doing, I could still read stuff on the site and figure out how to do it. It's pretty straightforward IMHO. About known issues, that would partly be taking away from the compatibility, TODO, and engine pages. This issue is something that would be better to talk about on -devel -[[User:Clone2727|Clone2727]] 22:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
